(Had to open this in Chrome, because Fx Nightly says Error code: MOZILLA_PKIX_ERROR_ADDITIONAL_POLICY_CONSTRAINT_FAILED) I have to disagree with all points. 1) Maybe true - but lots of exceptions exist as far as I'm aware (based on fri

Careful: Autoplays a video with sound for me. Muting the video and scrolling the page unmutes the video. Firefox Nightly, Windows. My coworkers didn't like the music, I think.

I assume you're familiar with that product? Am I reading this correctly: You're running an agent on your various devices that sends data to their cloud? Application names at minimum, I assume. Website addresses as far as I can tel

So it seems it suffers from the same issue that Dispora has (or had for all the time I followed): No decent user migration? That is, it seems I pick an instance (or host my own, but still: I pick a host) and can never move without losing al

I .. was aware of that, but you literally pay for Schadenfreude and charity there. I sincerely believe that no streamer can make money or get a following with a schedule of Desert Bus runs. Nor do I want to believe that there are people out

I don't think you can ship millions of devices that randomly hit on a URL that you don't control or own. Example.com is for examples (so that if you copy & paste my code, you don't do weird things). I am not convinced tha

Desert Bus. Not quite Twitch stream material.. I agree that it's an apt comparison, except Uber seems a worse experience. In Desert Bus you have to correct the bus.. Stupid work, but something necessary - boring - to do or you fail. Th

Anecdotally Singapore has (local) Grab and Uber. People seem to use both, I personally made far better experiences with Grab. Superficially they're the same, still there seems to be room for both and I personally prefer the Uber altern

Spend four weeks in India (Pune) recently. Ola was by far more interesting and cheaper, but.. unavailable to me without local colleagues helping me. To sign up you needed an Indian mobile number (I brought a German and a Singaporean..). Unf

I feel the opposite way. Subscribed to the Wireguard mailing list for a while and the author seems very friendly, even to help requests that are really .. stretching what a mailing list should be for. Yes, this reply was rather harsh, but i

Replied on twitter, but you've got a small mistake in the tacos/sushi graph vs. the text (tacos->tacos are labeled with 60% in the image, should be 40 according to the text).

Google does it. Wikipedia has local lawsuits. I'd argue that this is part of the (unfortunate) reality of running a global project and, as commented elsewhere, the only safe option to avoid lawsuits is to pick a set of laws (US here),

I wonder if, given their broad reply, that project shouldn't just block everyone BUT the US, since they decided that US law is the only that applies to them. Now, I don't like these laws one bit, but I also really don't like

Thanks for sharing that! I wasn't aware of either the next story line nor the absurd and crazy German adaption. That feels painfully wrong and is quite disgusting.

Not helpful. Sometimes technically correct isn't correct enough or good enough. The symbol was - in large parts of the world - tainted by the Nazis. By Germans (I'm one). Sorry for Buddhists that suffer in Europe, but I am a suppo
